I had a similar problem as the one you describe. A map was loading without any problem and recently it start to crash Hammer.
To fix it I open the vmf file, with a text editor, and changed the last entries of the file cameras and cordon from: cameras { "activecamera" "0" camera { "position" "[-1453.32 937.772 257.602]" "look" "[-1453.32 937.772 257.602]" } } cordon { "mins" "(99999 99999 99999)" "maxs" "(-99999 -99999 -99999)" "active" "0" } To: cameras { "activecamera" "0" camera { "position" "[763.693 537.118 195.715]" "look" "[761.287 536.37 194.398]" } } cordon { "mins" "(-1385 -756 -2792)" "maxs" "(1512 3638 1267)" "active" "0" } After this, the map started to load ok and because of that I didn't care much about the problem anymore but maybe the problem is in the cordon being all 99999.
